Hot off the press: here’s the Montgomery
County, Maryland Minimum Wage Increase Impact Study. The report
addresses the impact on the county economy and labor market; the impact on the
county government; the impact on county businesses; and the socioeconomic
impacts. When the Council reconvenes in the fall we will take up Bill 28-17
that would increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2020 for many workers in
Montgomery County. The current minimum wage is $11.50 per hour, and there are
no requirements in law for further increases. In January the Council enacted
a minimum wage bill in a vote of 5-4 that was subsequently vetoed by the
County Executive. If you would like to weigh in on Bill 28-17, sign up to
testify later this month at the public hearing to be held in late September; or send your written comments to county.council@montgomerycountymd.gov.
